old pic i ran across. thought i'd share, i was amazed standing outside the car at the park, just beatin playin around, then the trunk flew open and wouldn't shut, to my surprise this was why ;d was a simple single 15 type-r setup with an alpine mrd-605 pushin it. setup: 2002 Kia Rio sub+port firing upwards in the trunk (gee, wonder why it broke )

Our friend Don Sambrook (goes by Rudy on the forums), who for a number of years has been dedicating his time and effort to a 3rd party resource for sound deadener, has taken all the results from his tests and started his own product line. Sound Deadner Showdown. There is the CLD Tiles, Butyl Rope, Vinyl CCF, and Vinyl barrier. So far the site looks great and has a very simple and straight forward layout. He is currently working on the site right now I believe, so keep your eye out for more updates. Check it out, the prices are very reasonable too.

There's new goodys on the market Fi 2009 BLs and SSA XCON. Which one should i get first?

if i get a little mdf dust down by my coil etc, will it be fine and blow out eventually, or is it going to cause problems?

hi all looking for products that are either cheap, good quality,good performance, good sq/spl, or an all around good product for less then 100$ feel free to post anything audio related

Im thinking about running 2 american bass xfls at 1 ohm off of the kicker amp good idea i know its not but will it work? edit the subs only come in dual 4 ohm VCs

What does that mean in relation to the motor structure? What is different form a regular motor?

Does anybody know where I can get battery terminals that will take 2 1/0 gauge wires.

Just wondering, lookin at it for a cheap source of power for a friend. He wants "LOUD CHEAP and GOOD" Which is obviously next to impossible. But if his standards are that low, maybe Boss is for him! http://www.millionbuy.com/bosol5kd.html

New setup coming soon, here is my current setup. Fi SSD 15 in 3.5cuft @ 33hz Kicker zx750.1 on the sub (4 gauge power, 12 gauge sub wire) Kenwood coax 4's in the front & coax 6 1/2" on the back stage (both running on deck power) New setup Fully loaded BTL 15 in 4cuft @ 30hz Sundown 3k @ 1ohm on the BTL (Big 3 upgrade, 0 gauge power, 8 gauge speaker wire) Some loud components in the front, idk what to put in the back Sundown 100.4 for the components and the back (4 gauge power, 16 gauge speaker wire) 50-100sqft sound deadening kinetik 1600 superglue for my rearview mirror

does anybody know of some good Components, budgets around 300 are so this is for my work van they will be powerd by a SAX-100.2 .thanks

Ok guys, I've had a amp now for a few weeks pushing an 18" AA Chaos Sub. The Amp says its 4000 watts but I'm pretty sure it's only pushing about 1000 watts at 2OHMS. It's a no name amp i got from a friend brand new for free, so I figure why not. I've been slamming it hard, but all of a sudden it shut off on me. The name and model Audio Tek AT-4000 The Fuses are all still good, but for the hell of it I put 3x 40amp fuses in that were brand new. No sound still. I unplugged and reconnected all the cables, no sound still. I did a simple shut the car off and on , no sound. I check my Power Fuse Going to the battery, it's good , still no sound. There is a light on the actua…

I got these a few days ago to replace a set of Infinity Reference components and they sound pretty dang good. Big Big Big improvement. The only problem I have is the output is way down compared to the 2 ohm rated Infinity, which ain't a bad thing because they were very harsh to my ears, but the Bostons are having a hard time keeping up with my sub bass with only 60 watts on them. I am sure they would love some more power and probably wake up and really shine. Details........ The Bostons are rated @ 3ohm and 125w rms and I have a Rockford Forgate 450.4 amp that puts out 60w RMS x 4 @ 2 ohm, 100w x 4 @ 2ohm, and 225w x 2 bridged @ 4ohm. I had thought about just bridging the…

Can someone please explain to me what would cause a crossover to "blow up", I had the music on 55/62 and was pretty screaming from the tweeters, and then all of a sudden a huge "pop" from the crossover, smoking, doesnt seem like it was the first time, when I first got my other side installed I noticed this fuzzy stuff all over it, but thouhgt nothing of it, same shit was over the crossover when it blew, im ssending them in for warrenty, but I want to know if its my fault at all, or the brand, CDT.

Might be a stupid question but im gonna ask it anyway.I have a enclosure with 2 thread rods running from the front of the enclosure all the way to the back of the enclosure for support. Can i also use these thread rods for a speaker terminals also? I will be running a memphis 16-2000d to a 18" btl d1 voice coils. Will be running in a series for a 2 ohm load.

i found this on parts-express, looks neat. anyone have any info on them? would be much appreciated. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=299-744 Thanks, -Chris

What is more important to place deadner on? The outer layer of the door? Or the inner metal where the speaker mounts?

I have been thinking of different designs. Is there any issues with mounting a subwoofer in the inside port wall facing the port? I know the velocity from the port would be directed across the face of the sub, would this cause cancellation? Or would it depend on volume of the port? Any input is appreciated. Chad

where is all the x-con set -ups. i see alot of ppl getting these so where are the pic's??????????????

Well im new to car audio, and have been wanting to install a sub along with a new head unit replacing the stock one I have. After hours of looking around and asking I've finally come this being the starters for my first install 1 15" ssd dual 2 ohm & copper coil Sundown SAE/SAZ-1000D Pioneer DEH-P7000BT its a budget setup for my 1999 mazda protege, and I usually listen to rock and club/house music, and am aiming for an inbtween of sq and spl, yet leaning towards spl. so tell me what you guys think, does it work?

I have the almost perfect exact dimensions for it: W: 37.1875 H: 17.25 Top depth: 15.4375 bottom d is same as top wood thick: .75 port h: 15.75 port w: 3.1875 port l 1: 11.5 port l 2: 4.5625 box vol: 3.9 (ft3) I'm borrowing it from a friend for my Fi BL, so i have no idea what it would be tuned to, but i got all the dimensions Also, based on everything, what should i set my amp levels to for it? I have this picture that someone suggested i use for my chit, but my sub doesn't hit hardly with these settings Something else i don't get is, the screw is one long line and one shorter line, which is suppose to line up with these arrows?

When i want to show off my stuff im always afraid of blowing my subs. I was wondering if there is a formula or something that you guys use to make sure you know where the subs limit is? If i dial in my gains to where the amp is not sending clipped signals when the head unit is all the way up, does this mean that i can turn the head unit up as much as i want and not have to worry? I have an Audioque HDC312 "1000 RMS" sub Audioque AQ1200D all wired at 1 ohm

Not sure if this is the right area so sorry if its not but here we go... Ok, so ive never installed my own set up so want im asking here is if anyone can help me put together something really really cheap i can use just to get the hang of installing everything, it doesnt have to sound amazing or even be good i just want the install experience before i do my actually set up. No custom work will be done so im aiming at finding a something already in an enclosure, thanks for any help. And i know somebody is gonna say budget, and my budget is as cheap as it can possibly get. Also for a deck is it gonna need to be replaced with something or can i just use a stock piece of junk…
